A review by andrew61
Cross and Burn by Val McDermid

3.0

After the disappointment of The retribution and the return of Jacko Vance this was for me a return to form for Tony Hill and Carol Jordan although the real strength of the book was DS Paula McIntyre. As ever there is a serial killer on the streets of Bradfield which plays out against the devastating after effects of the previous book. The MIT team has been disbanded and Carol has withdrawn to the wilds of the Yorkshire Moors and a life outside the police force, whilst Tony has to come to terms with his mistakes. The book did what I wanted it to which was keep me turning the page and looking forward to reading the latest in the saga.
